We don't need to increase tax credits for health insurance. We need to implement Medicare for all
and a flat 5% income tax on all income no matter the source. If Democrats control the house, senate and white house then they shoukld get rid of the filibuster in the Senate and vote Medicare for all in.

Alabama AG Sues Birmingham for Removing Rebel Monument
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (CN) — Alabama’s attorney general sued the city of Birmingham on Tuesday, demanding that it pay a fine of $25,000 for tearing down a 115-year-old obelisk dedicated to Confederate soldiers.
Attorney General Steve Marshall, a Republican, told Birmingham’s mayor on Monday that he was duty-bound to enforce a state law that prohibits the removal of any monument older than 40 years old.

BET founder Robert Johnson calls for $14 trillion of reparations for slavery
“Now is the time to go big” to keep America from dividing into two separate and unequal societies, Robert Johnson said in a CNBC interview Monday.
Johnson said reparations would send the signal that white Americans acknowledge “damages that are owed” for the unequal playing field created by slavery and the decades since.
The wealth divide and police brutality against blacks are at the heart of protests that have erupted across the nation following last week’s killing of George Floyd during an arrest in Minneapolis.
